[PATCH v2 1/4] virtio-mem: validate device-reported block size
From: Hari Mishal
Date: Wed Jul 15 2026 - 12:41:53 EST
The device_block_size read from the virtio-mem config space is used as a
divisor and also in ALIGN_DOWN() further down the code path in the
driver without further validation. A zero value leads to a division by
zero, and a non-power-of-two value corrupts the ALIGN_DOWN() bitmask
arithmetic leading to a misreporting of guest-usable ram, post crash.
Reject both at init time instead of trusting the device.

v2: dropped the redundant explicit zero check, since
is_power_of_2(0) already returns false.
